Previous sections relied upon available data. In some instances, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) or strategic information (SI) officers need to collect data and create spatial datasets. For example, facility-level service provision data might be available, but geo-coordinates for these facilities may be missing. Mapping service provision by facilities will require data collection and spatial dataset development.

In this section, users will learn how to collect data using a GPS device, transfer these data to QGIS, create new spatial datasets for both vector and raster data, and produce a map.
